I have no doubt you can do this. Seeing how you have chosen to use wood , do not forget Glen's tip of putting at least one coat of ca finish on the scales before you place the brass. You may want to check with him on this but it sounds like a great idea to me. It may help the brass adhere to the scales better in which case you will have to be sure you can place them perfect quickly. He may have another reason which he didn't explain in that thread.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

I am SURE that I will be asking for help!
I know it is hard enough to get a Good CA finish, so thus should be a real "treat" to do... Lol

It is not that hard, just attention to the details.

Scale sanding and fitting
Yeah...So where I had the holes I did NOT leave enough room to shape the scales....
Back to the woodpile and grab another piece of Yellowheart.
Cut two sets of scales out again and gave it another go:
A bit of sanding and fitting:
More sand and Fit:
Looks pretty good I think?:
So I have 1 side sort of done and I am exhausted!
I have been up for WAY too long and I don't want to mess anything up so I am calling it a night!

Nice progress Chev,
is your intention to carve out & inlay the decals into the wood or onlay them then fill & coat with epoxy or CA or something to make flush & seal them in at the same time?
seen lots of Double ducks on here but these are the first WoodDucks i've seen and look forward to seeing the finished product as it comes.Saved,
to shave another day.

I'm glad to see that worked out. I was afraid that given the first picture of cut scales you were going to wonder how you wound up with two right hand scales...LOL Originally Posted by Chevhead

...
That's happened to a couple knives I was working on a while ago.
